Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

Scoring is up and he basically doesn't play unless MacK and Rantanen are on the ice. Still has poor defensive metrics. When he's not babysat by MacK his offensive and defensive metrics make you wish for Cody Ceci.

lol I will say though that he was the only defenseman with over 60 points and 60 takeaways.

He had 90 points and 70 takeaways

I've never heard of that injury, but it doesn't sound good.

Canucks goalie depth chart:
Demko
DeSmith
Silovs
Patera
Tolopilo (whom I've heard is pretty good)


Avalanche goalie depth chart:
Georgiev
Annunen
Johansson
Miner
Mandolese

Huh.

Wasn't JoJo returning a joke? Old tweet?

 

[ABasin]

If 90 points is “regressing hard” I think he’ll still command plenty.

For sure. Defensemen get paid for points, just like forwards.

But man, was he disappointing defensively last season. I was barking about it from November on.

Jojo is not an Av unfortunately and DeSmith is in Dallas. Wishing the women of Dallas the best of luck

Sounds like a free trip to Robidas Island and extra cap space for St Louis

He's no Brewer!

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Parekh is new and shiny, no way they trade him for Makar. He could be anything, even Makar! At best they will give us a signed Robyn Regehr photo

Man, I still involuntarily wince every time someone brings Robyn up. At time I new Regehr was going to be good, but I certainly wasn't aware of Theo's struggles so I knew you had to give up good to get good. But man...Robyn was damn good. And fortunately PL was smart enough to resign someone with massive addiction issues so Fleury only ended up playing 15 regular and 18 post-season games for us. That trade was all sorts of weird. I get that Dingman was a better player, but I really liked Wade Belak and was bummed that he was involved as well. I mean a first, Corbet and Belak doesn't get us both Theo and Dingman, probalby not enough for even just Theo...but is the difference really worth the inclusion of Rene Corbet, Robyn Regehr, and a second round pick (Jarret Stoll)? Really I think this might be the second worse trade PL made, only being beaten by his obstinate nature forcing him to trade Drury.

Huh. I've never felt envious of Vancouver and it won't start now.

Hell yeah! f*** the Canucks

One good year and they're acting like theyre Stanley Cup champs

 

[TruePowerSlave]

I don´t see whats so special about Vancouver. Overperformed last season and the roster still has big holes, just look at the defense.

Hughes
Hronek
Myers
Desharnais
Juulsen
Soucy
Forbort

That defense won't contend and Demko has to bail them out again.

 

[Pokecheque]

I’m not saying they’re an ideal organization, far from it, they just seem to have figured out how to make goalies post-Cloutier.

DeSmith signing elsewhere kinda hurts your point, now dunnit?

Oh shit I didn’t know that, nor did I know that Wedgewood signed in Nashville.

Well, a Demko/Silovs tandem is actually better…at least until Demko gets hurt.

The only things that hurt his defensive metrics last I looked were his PK numbers, and I've talked ad nauseam about why I think the Avs PK sucks. Yes, his numbers take a hit when he's away from MacKinnon but I'd argue that has just as much to do with the Avs' lack of depth and overstocking on forwards who continually get lost in the defensive zone as it does MacKinnon.

And you're getting a bit melodramatic with the Cody Ceci comparisons.

 

[dahrougem2]

Next season will be telling for Makar.

He SHOULD be on the ice at all times with one of MacKinnon/Mittelstadt.

If his numbers continue to take a massive dip away from 29, then we have some issues.

However, if he can regain his dominant form then all concern will be gone.

His defensive game was not good last year. His skating was off, too.

He was most definitely not himself, but I don't buy that he's "regressing hard" either.
